Hello!
This is Dr. Hwang Bo-hwang, head physician at Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
Yesterday marked the beginning of spring, Ipchun.
The wind is still cold, but the sunlight is definitely getting warmer.
However, as a dermatologist, I'm a bit concerned about this time of year.
Skin that has become accustomed to weak UV rays during the winter is suddenly exposed to stronger
spring sunlight, causing blemishes and freckles to slowly appear.
In particular, UVA rays can penetrate windows and reach deep into the skin,
requiring even more caution.
So today, I'd like to talk about the removal of
blemishes and freckles, which many of you are curious about.
How can you get rid of blemishes?
You've probably tried whitening creams and folk remedies.
But to be honest,
it's difficult to remove blemishes with cosmetics alone.
Pigmentation that is deeply rooted in the skin has limitations with products
applied to the surface.
That's why many people are looking for laser treatments these days,
and among them,Pico Laserhas become the trend in blemish treatment.
What's different about Pico Laser?
I always tell my patients this during consultations.
"The key to blemish treatment is not to hit it hard,
but to break it down precisely."
Old lasers used heat to burn away the pigment.
This sometimes caused burns or even
hyperpigmentation.
On the other hand,Pico Laseruses a very short pulse duration of 1 trillionth of a second
to deliver a strong shockwave and finely break down the pigment into a fine powder.These finely broken pigments can be much more easily cleared by our body's
immune cells.
There is less damage to surrounding tissue, less pain, and faster recovery.
What is the Pico Laser procedure like?
From visiting Cleor Gangnam and washing your face to returning home,
it usually takes
about an hour.Precise Diagnosis and Consultation:We use Mark Vu to check the depth of pigmentation and skin condition.
(This is the most important step because the laser wavelength varies depending on whether it's a blemish or a freckle.)Cleansing and Anesthesia:
After thoroughly cleansing the skin's surface, an anesthetic cream is applied for a comfortable procedure.(Pico Laser has little pain, so it can be performed without anesthesia.)Pico Laser Procedure:
The laser is precisely irradiated according to the patient's skin condition.It takes about10-15 minutes
depending on the area.Soothing and Regenerative Care:Immediately after the procedure, we perform a pack or laser treatment to soothe and regenerate the flushed skin.Please follow the precautions after the procedure!If the laser has broken down the pigment well,
now it's your turn to help it be discharged well.
Sun protection is 'survival'.
The skin becomes temporarily sensitive after the procedure!
Be sure to use sunscreen and hats or parasols when going out.
Apply moisturizing cream 'frequently'.
The skin may become dry due to the heat of the laser.
It is better to apply 1.5 times more regenerative cream or moisturizing cream than usual.
No 'heat' for a week.
Avoid activities that generate heat in the body, such as saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise.
This is because high skin temperature can cause pigmentation.
Don't touch scabs or flakes.
Small scabs may form on the treated area.
This is a natural process of skin regeneration, so
never peel them off and let them fall off naturally.
✨If the procedure is 50%, so is the aftercare.
"No matter how good the Pico Laser is, the effect can be reduced if
aftercare is neglected.
If you follow the precautions I have given you,
you can achieve much clearer and more transparent skin.
FAQ about blemish treatment answered directly by the director
Q1. Do I really have to get it 10 times?
Blemishes are a chronic condition.
10 treatments at 1-2 week intervals
that gradually remove blemishes without putting stress on the skin is the safest and most effective.
Q2. Does the skin become sensitive?
Pico Laser selectively
targets only the pigment and helps regenerate collagen in the dermis.Rather, if you receive treatment according to the cycle, your skin will become healthier.
Q3. Can I use it in conjunction with oral medication or ointment?
Yes, there is a synergistic effect.
Combining medication that suppresses melanin production with a laser that destroys pigment
can shorten the treatment period.
Q4. Will blemishes that appear after childbirth also improve?
Hormonal blemishes are tricky, but Pico Laser is
excellent at destroying them.
Precise treatment at a time when hormones are stabilizing
can sufficiently improve them.
Q5. How do I maintain it after treatment?
After intensive treatment, we recommend a light maintenance treatment
once every 2-3 months.
And thorough sun protection must be combined to
maintain clear skin for a long time.
Are you starting to hate looking in the mirror because of blemishes?I understand the feeling of trying to cover it up with makeup, but still being bothered by it.
Blemishes are tricky, but they are definitely not a problem to give up on!With proper treatment and consistent care, they will definitely improve.
